ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc.Precision Gear Racks - carburized case-hardening
ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. announce a new class of precision gear racks which offer several significant advantages over traditional gear racks. The "Strong Line" class of gear racks from ATLANTA utilizes an innovative carburized case-hardening process to increase the strength of the rack, including the tooth flanks and root, which maximizes its power density, stiffness and performance. Because of the increased power density, a smaller rack size can often be used compared to traditional gear...

ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc.Drive Systems...Planetary Rack & Pinion
ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce an expansion of their range of Precision Planetary Rack & PinionDrive Systems. There are now three different planetary drive systems available, with helical or straight (spur) rack & pinions, to meet any application requirements. For ultra-precise applications with thrust forces up to 28,000 lb., the HighForce ZTRS rack & piniondrive systems are very well suited. These drives, which are available in five sizes with backlash levels down to one...

Andantex USA, Inc.Rack and PinionDrive - Planetary Reducers
They consist of two top quality planetary reducers mounted in parallel inside of a super rigid universal housing. Two integral output pinions engage the rack to allow preloading of the system and maximize the Stiffness on Rack. When choosing the mechanical preload solution, the DRP+ becomes a DualDRIVE unit, which achieves ZERO-BACKLASH by torsionally winding one pinion against the other through the rack. Only one motor is required to drive the axis simplifying motor control. DRP+ becomes...

ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc.Rack & PinionDrive System...Torque Supported
ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. is pleased to announce a new range of "Torque Supporter" Precision Rack & PinionDrive Systems that can handle highly dynamic and heavy loads. These systems utilize precision planetary reducers with an integral output housing and outboard bearing to provide a rigid support to the output pinion. Typically, reducers with output flanges are limited in the forces they can transmit by the tilting moment that the output bearings can handle. By adding an output bearing...

ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc.Rack & Pinion Systems - Zero-Blacklash
ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. offers a complete range of Zero-Backlash Rack & PinionDrive Systems that eliminate all axis backlash, providing ultra-precise positioning and repeatability. Positioning accuracy is maintained during acceleration and deceleration, as well as during changes in direction of travel. The axis backlash is eliminated by using two pinions - one to drive the axis and the other to engage the opposite tooth flank and take up the backlash. Mechanically preloaded systems utilize...
